A great book on developing your listening skills and humility.

This is the lead volume in a series of books authored by Scazzero, all focused on various aspects of “emotionally healthy” Christian living, from discipleship and spirituality to relationships and church life. The author is critical of conventional approaches to discipleship that neglect the emotional needs of humans and the importance of emotional maturity for spiritual formation, as well as aspects of Western culture that reinforce shallow and emotionally stunted discipleship practices. Scazzero’s proposed antidote is a biblical and theological vision for discipleship and formation joined with practical guidance in developing emotional awareness and self-understanding.

Others on the team will have the 2010 book on their list, this book is less comprehensive than the former but builds on its arguments and its vision, presenting multiple angles on Christian faith formation from multicultural, practical, and theological perspectives.
